A blocked drain gets worse the Nottingham longer you leave it. Whether it's a kitchen sink that won't empty, a toilet that keeps backing up, or a manhole that's overflowing in the garden, we'll sort it the same day.

We use high-pressure jetting to blast through blockages in minutes. For stubborn or recurring problems, our CCTV drain cameras find exactly what's going on, tree roots, collapsed pipes, fat buildup, so we fix the cause, not just the symptom We cover all Nottingham areas including Beeston, City Centre, and West Bridgford.

Our service covers sinks, toilets, baths, showers, and outside drains across Nottingham. We've cleared drains in West Bridgford, Beeston, Sherwood, Carlton, and everywhere in between.

Common Questions

Got questions? Here's the quick answers.

How much does drain unblocking cost in Nottingham?
A straightforward drain unblock in Nottingham typically costs £80-£120 for a single blockage using rods or a plunger. High-pressure jetting costs £150-£250 for more stubborn blockages. If we need a CCTV survey to find the problem, that's another £150-£200. Most domestic blockages are sorted within an hour.
How long does drain unblocking take?
Most simple blockages take 30-60 minutes to clear. If it's a more complex blockage deeper in the system, or we need to use jetting equipment, allow within 2 hours. CCTV surveys add another hour. We'll give you a time estimate once we've assessed the blockage, whether you're in City Centre, West Bridgford, or Beeston.
Can I unblock my drain myself?
For a toilet or sink, you can try a plunger first, make sure you've got a good seal and use fast, forceful plunges. Avoid chemical drain cleaners; they rarely work on serious blockages and can damage old pipes. If the plunger doesn't work after 5 minutes, call us. For external drains, don't attempt it yourself, they're deeper and need proper rods We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
My drain keeps blocking up, what's causing it?
Recurring blockages usually mean a bigger issue: tree roots growing into the pipe (common in older Nottingham properties with clay drains), a collapsed or broken pipe, or a build-up of fat and grease that needs jetting. We'd recommend a CCTV survey to find the root cause, then fix it properly rather than just clearing the symptom every few months.
Is a gurgling drain a sign of a blocked pipe?
Usually yes. Gurgling happens when air is trapped in the pipe because water can't drain freely. It's often an early warning sign that a blockage is forming. If you hear gurgling when you flush the toilet or empty the sink, get it checked before it turns into a full blockage and backs up into your house We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
What happens if tree roots are blocking my drain?
We'll use high-pressure jetting to cut through the roots and clear the blockage. For a permanent fix, we'd recommend excavating and replacing the damaged section of pipe with modern plastic, tree roots can't penetrate it. Root cutting costs £200-£300; a full pipe replacement depends on depth and length, usually £800-£2000 for a typical garden drain run We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
Do you cover blocked drains under buildings insurance?
Many home insurance policies include drain and pipe cover as standard or as an optional extra. Check your policy documents or call your insurer. If you're covered, we can provide a detailed invoice and report for your claim. Even if you're not covered, most drain unblocks cost less than a typical insurance excess anyway We cover all Nottingham areas including NG1, NG2, and NG9 postcodes.
Can you unblock drains in older Nottingham properties?
Yes, we work on Victorian and Edwardian properties across Nottingham every week. Older homes often have clay or cast-iron drains which are more prone to root damage and corrosion. We've got the equipment to handle old systems safely, we know not to force modern rods down fragile clay pipes. If the pipe's too far gone, we'll recommend a replacement.
